9/10/11

That was the date  when Taylor was baptized!  Pretty cool, huh!?!  He'll never have a hard time remembering that!

So, that weekend we had several family members visit!  Grandma and Grandpa Taylor and Aunt Kim, Grandma Connie and Aunt Brittnie, and Grandma Shell and Aunt Joni all came to celebrate with us.  It was the first time that we met Grandma Shell's sister, Joni.  What a great weekend!

Everyone arrived on Friday, and we did a lot of chatting and being excited to have so many visitors!  That night Mom had to work, so everyone made and ate pizza, then went to visit her at work.  They all got their pictures taken, and enjoyed desserts as well!  Next we watched the end of Karate Kid at the Bee Creek theater.

Saturday was the big day!  Taylor was baptized by Dad.  Aunt Kim and Aunt Brittnie gave talks about baptism and the Holy Ghost, and Mom and Callie sang a song, with Taylor joining in for the second verse.  Then Taylor was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost!  He was so happy and serious!  We were all so happy for him, and proud of him!  (the program also consisted of each grandparent having some part, per Taylor's planning.)

After the service, we all had lunch at our home.  The missionaries also came, and gave Taylor a spanish CTR ring and a lego set.  They know the way to his heart!

That evening, we all went to eat (way too much) at a chinese buffet, then went to see the SIX show, and loved it!  We all raved about it for the rest of the evening!  (check them out:  http://www.thesixshow.com/ )
On Sunday, Taylor was sustained as the newest member of our ward!  He looked so proud and handsome as he stood there (on a chair, so people could see him) in his new suit! 
We'd had such a great weekend spending so much time with our family!  It was hard to say goodbye Sunday evening!  We love you all, and are so grateful for your love and support!  Thanks for making Taylor's weekend so special!
